Hausfreund is a trendy shop in Düsseldorf that's a must for anyone who loves personalised items. The owner René Küpper designs and produces most of the items himself. You can find everything here: for big boys and girls and for the little ones. There are t-shirts, bags, jackets, accessories and many other things.

Choice products made with love

René puts the effort, heart and time needed into every model he designs. Most are printed by hand using a stencil system. The small differences that appear after printing are part of the appeal. That's what gives the personal touch to Hausfreund creations. It's what customers are looking for. "I want to stand out from mass produced Made in China; that's exactly what I want to do", says René of Düsseldorf. His fabrics and merchandise come from fair trade companies that meet international standards.

Everyone in Düsseldorf is talking about it

The television tower is a Düsseldorf symbol and you can see it from far away. You know that you're "home" when you see it on your way back from a trip. That's why Hausfreund has dedicated a whole collection to it. No need to go look anywhere else to find something really typical of Düsseldorf. There's always a trick to learn. I especially like the home-made memory that uses subjects from the city that are so original that even natives have never seen them. A visit is required.

I've always loved Cologne. The city is industrial and romantic at the same time. I love my city for its galleries, classical concerts and elegant restaurants and its traditional and very trendy bars!
My little extra: I love words, the arts and literature!
